“You can’t use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have.” -Maya Angelou
Employers today require new competencies learned through arts training, from critical and creative thinking to teamwork and problem solving. Strengthen these competencies in yourself – and develop new talents – by enrolling in Peck School of Arts GER courses in art and design, dance, film, music or theatre.
GER courses for non-arts majors
Expand your mind and your skillset by earning GER credits through Wisconsin’s only comprehensive school of the arts. Undergraduate students from any UWM school or college can review the Peck School’s performing- and visual-arts GER-eligible courses from our schedule of classes. As always, discuss your course schedule with your academic advisor to confirm that you’re maximizing your progress toward graduation day.
